2017 Edinburgh Fringe
Angela Barnes: Fortitude
Following sell-out Fringe shows in 2014 and 2015, Angela Barnes (Mock The Week, Alan Davies: As Yet Untitled, Russell Howard's Good News, BBC Radio 4's The News Quiz, host of Newsjack on BBC Radio 4 Extra) is back with her brand new 2017 show, Fortitude. Stand-up and stories from a reluctant 40 year old with some stuff to say. 'Feels like a sure-fire bet the instant she utters her opening lines' (Scotsman). 'She's just a gloriously down-to-earth, straight talking and extremely funny comic' (Guardian). 'The pace is fast, the material strong and the delivery perfect' (Chortle.co.uk).

Enjoy 15 minutes of stand up and chat with the popular comedian, writer and swimmer. Angela didn't become a stand up until 33, only learnt to swim when she was 37, didn't fall in love until 38 and passed her driving test at 39. Why the hurry?

Sharon Lougher, Metro, 25th July 2017The Edinburgh interviews 2017: Angela Barnes
Angela Barnes seems to always be on television and radio these days, whether that be Mock the Week, Alan Davies: As Yet Untitled or The News Quiz. Barnes is at the top of her game. She is the voice at the back of your mind that says it how it is, but is also genuine, warm and darkly funny. Angela will be performing at the Pleasance Courtyard throughout August
